Instructions
- 1. In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, soy sauce, lemon juice, honey, minced garlic, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper until mixture is homogeneous.
- 2. Place salmon fillets in a shallow dish or zip-top bag and pour the marinade over them, ensuring even coverage. Marinate for at least 30 minutes at room temperature or up to 2 hours in the refrigerator.
- 3. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (400–450°F / 200–230°C) or your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- 4. If grilling, oil the grates, place salmon skin-side down, and grill for 6–8 minutes per side. For oven, arrange fillets skin-side down on a baking sheet and bake for 10–14 minutes, checking for doneness.
- 5. Let salmon rest for 2–3 minutes, then serve immediately with any juices or leftover boiled marinade.
